[0031] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A golf club angle measuring device includes a machine base 100, a clamping assembly 200, a worktable 300, and a detection mechanism. The machine base 100 is equipped with a display 110. The clamping assembly 200 is located on the machine base 100 and is used to clamp the club shaft 11. The worktable 300 is located on the machine base 100 and is used to place the club head 12 of the golf club. The detection mechanism includes a drive assembly 410 and a laser profile scanning camera 420. The drive assembly 410 is located on the machine base 100 and is drivenly connected to the laser profile scanning camera 420, which can drive the laser profile scanning camera 420 to move along the length direction of the golf club clamped by the clamping assembly 200. The detection mechanism can scan the profile of the golf club through the laser profile scanning camera 420 and detect the loft and base angle information of the club head 12. The detection mechanism is electrically connected to the display 110 and can display the detection results through the display 110.

[0032] Understandably, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the clamping assembly 200 and the worktable 300 are spaced apart along the left and right directions on the front side of the machine base 100, and the detection mechanism is located on the rear side of the machine base 100. When the clamping assembly 200 clamps the club shaft 11, the length direction of the golf club is parallel to the left and right directions. The drive assembly 410 can drive the laser contour scanning camera 420 to move along the left and right directions. In use, the golf club to be inspected is placed on the machine base 100, the clubhead 12 is placed on the worktable 300, and the clamping assembly 200 clamps the club shaft 11 to achieve fixed placement of the golf club. Then, the drive assembly 410 drives the laser contour scanning camera 420 to move along the length direction of the golf club clamped by the clamping assembly 200. The laser contour scanning camera 420 scans the contour information of the golf club, and the detection mechanism detects the tilt angle and base angle information of the clubhead 12 based on the contour information and displays the detection results on the display 110. This invention has a simple and reasonable structure, and can quickly detect and display the tilt angle and bottom angle information of the clubhead 12 through laser contour scanning, which is beneficial to improving detection efficiency and the accuracy of detection results, and is convenient for production application.

[0033] In practical applications, the specific structures of clamping components 200 and worktable 300 can be set according to actual usage needs, and will not be described in detail here. They will be explained in detail below.

[0034] In some embodiments, two laser profile scanning cameras 420 are provided, with the two laser profile scanning cameras 420 facing different sides of the golf club respectively.

[0035] Understandably, such as Figure 2 As shown, the detection mechanism also includes a movable base 430, and a drive assembly 410 is drivenly connected to the movable base 430 to drive the movable base 430 to move in the left and right direction. A laser contour scanning camera 420 is mounted on the movable base 430 and moves with the movable base 430. There are two laser contour scanning cameras 420. One laser contour scanning camera 420 faces the rear side of the golf club held by the clamping assembly 200, and the other laser contour scanning camera 420 faces the upper side of the golf club held by the clamping assembly 200, so as to perform contour scanning of the golf club from the horizontal and vertical directions respectively, and obtain contour information of the golf club from multiple angles, which helps to improve the accuracy of the detection results and facilitates use.

[0036] In practical applications, the two laser contour scanning cameras 420 can also face the front and upper sides of the golf club respectively, or face the front upper slope and rear upper slope of the golf club respectively. The drive component 410 can be a linear motor, cylinder or other linear drive, or it can be composed of a servo motor and a lead screw transmission structure. The specific configuration can be set according to the actual use needs. Since the specific structure and working principle of the laser contour scanning camera 420 in this embodiment are known to those skilled in the art, they will not be described in detail here.

[0037] In some embodiments, a light shield 120 is provided on the machine base 100, and the laser contour scanning camera 420 and the worktable 300 are both located inside the light shield 120.

[0038] Understandably, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the light shield 120 is located on the left side of the machine base 100. The laser contour scanning camera 420 and the worktable 300 are both located inside the light shield 120. By setting the light shield 120, the interference of external light sources on the golf club contour scanning can be effectively reduced, which is beneficial to improving the accuracy of the detection results and facilitating use. In practical applications, the specific structure of the light shield 120 can be set according to the actual needs of use.

[0039] In some embodiments, the light shield 120 has an opening (not shown) and a switch door 121 is movably connected to the opening. The switch door 121 can rotate or move relative to the light shield 120 so as to block or open the opening of the light shield 120.

[0040] Understandably, such as Figure 1 As shown, the light shield 120 is equipped with a switch door 121. The upper front side of the light shield 120 has an opening (not shown in the figure). The switch door 121 is movably connected to the opening of the light shield 120. During testing and use, the switch door 121 covers the opening of the light shield 120. Before or after testing and use, the switch door 121 can be rotated or moved to open the opening of the light shield 120, thus facilitating the insertion or removal of golf clubs for ease of use. In practical applications, the switch door 121 can be rotatably connected to the light shield 120 via a hinge or slidably connected to the light shield 120 via a sliding structure. Its specific structure can be set according to actual usage needs.

[0041] In some embodiments, two clamping assemblies 200 are provided, and the two clamping assemblies 200 are spaced apart and respectively used to clamp different positions of the club shaft 11.

[0042] Understandably, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the clamping assembly 200 has two components spaced apart in the left-right direction. Each clamping assembly 200 includes a clamping driver 210 and two clamping members 220. The clamping driver 210 is connected to at least one of the two clamping members 220, enabling the two clamping members 220 to move relative to each other, thus clamping the club shaft 11. The two clamping assemblies 200 are used to clamp different positions of the club shaft 11. By fixing the club shaft 11 at two points, a relatively stable clamping and fixing effect can be achieved, facilitating use. In practical applications, the clamping assembly 200 can also be a pneumatic gripper or other forms of clamping structure, and its specific number and distribution can be varied according to actual usage needs.

[0043] In some embodiments, the machine tool 100 is provided with an adjustment structure, which can adjust and change the position of the clamping assembly 200 relative to the machine tool 100 and / or the position of the worktable 300 relative to the machine tool 100.

[0044] Understandably, by setting up an adjustment structure, the position of the clamping component 200 relative to the machine base 100 and / or the position of the worktable 300 relative to the machine base 100 can be adjusted, thereby changing the distance between the clamping component 200 and the worktable 300. This allows for the adaptation to golf clubs of different lengths, improving adaptability. In practical applications, the adjustment structure can adjust only the position of the clamping component 200, only the position of the worktable 300, or both, depending on the specific needs of use.

[0045] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the adjustment structure can adjust and change the position of the clamping assembly 200 relative to the machine tool 100 and the position of the worktable 300 relative to the machine tool 100.

[0046] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the adjustment structure includes a slide rail 130, a first mounting base 140, and a second mounting base 150. The slide rail 130 is located on the machine base 100 and extends in the left-right direction. The first mounting base 140 and the second mounting base 150 are spaced apart in the left-right direction and are slidably connected to the slide rail 130. The clamping assembly 200 is located on the first mounting base 140, and the worktable 300 is located on the second mounting base 150. In use, the clamping assembly 200 and the worktable 300 can be adjusted by moving the second mounting base 150 left and right. The structure is simple and easy to use. In practical applications, in addition to the above structure, the adjustment structure may also include multiple mounting holes or mounting components on the machine base 100. By connecting the mounting base to different mounting holes or different mounting components, its mounting position can be changed. The specific configuration can be varied according to actual usage needs.

[0047] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, both the first mounting base 140 and the second mounting base 150 are provided with locking components 170, which can restrict the movement of the first mounting base 140 and the second mounting base 150 relative to the machine base 100. It is understood that, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, both mounting bases are equipped with locking assemblies 170 on their lower sides. Each locking assembly 170 includes a rotatable threaded rod 171 and locking members 172 that are threadedly engaged with the threaded rod 171. The threaded rod 171 has two sections of threads with opposite directions of rotation. The locking members 172 have two sections of threads with opposite directions of rotation, each engaging with one of the two sections of threads on the threaded rod 171. The two locking members 172 are located on the front and rear sides of the slide rail 130, respectively. Rotating the threaded rod 171 allows the two locking members 172 to move closer to or further away from each other. When locked, the two locking members 172 move closer to each other and clamp the slide rail 130, thus fixing the position of the mounting base and preventing displacement during testing. When unlocked, the two locking members 172 move further away from each other, releasing the clamp on the slide rail 130, allowing the mounting base to move relative to the slide rail 130 for position adjustment. Its structure is simple and easy to use. In practical applications, the locking assembly 170 can also be pressed onto the machine base 100 or released by tightening or loosening the bolts to achieve the effect of locking and unlocking, thus restricting the movement of the corresponding mounting base. The specific structure of the locking assembly 170 can be changed according to the actual use needs.

[0048] In some embodiments, a third mounting base 160 is provided on the second mounting base 150, the third mounting base 160 is movable back and forth relative to the second mounting base 150, and the worktable 300 is disposed on the third mounting base 160.

[0049] Understandably, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, by setting a third mounting base 160, the worktable 300 is positioned on the third mounting base 160. The third mounting base 160 can move back and forth relative to the second mounting base 150, thereby realizing the position adjustment of the worktable 300 in the back and forth direction, adapting to different types and placements of the cue head 12, and improving adaptability. In practical applications, the position adjustment between the third mounting base 160 and the second mounting base 150 can be achieved through a screw mechanism or by using a cylinder to drive the movement. The fixation after the position adjustment can be achieved through a corresponding locking structure, such as the locking structure used in the locking assembly 170, or by directly locking by tightening bolts. The specific setting can be made according to the actual use requirements.

[0050] In some embodiments, the worktable 300 is vertically movable on the third mounting base 160. It is understood that, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the worktable 300 can be moved up and down relative to the third mounting base 160 to adjust its position. This allows for vertical adjustment of the worktable 300, accommodating different types and placements of the cue head 12 and further improving its adaptability. In practical applications, the position adjustment between the worktable 300 and the third mounting base 160 can be achieved through a screw mechanism or by using a cylinder to drive the movement. The adjusted positions can be secured using a corresponding locking structure, such as the locking structure used in the locking assembly 170, or by directly tightening bolts. The specific configuration can be tailored to the actual usage requirements.

[0051] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
